ColinsMum: If by "the Seeker series" you mean The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, just be aware that it's a not-at-all-veiled political commentary, in a very hit-you-over-the-head-with-it kind of way. My DW quit reading it when it got too preachy. Okay, communism = bad, McCarthy was right, we get it, now please get on with the story.

I was sad to see the TV version go away so quickly.
